Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building this set is best performed on a flat, well-lit surface with ample space to organize the 1,190 pieces. Using the `LEGO Builder` app is highly recommended for identifying specific pieces and understanding the layering of the internal support structure. To maintain the model, avoid direct sunlight which can cause long-term plastic discoloration. Dusting should be performed gently with a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air held at a distance. If you choose to disassemble the set, store the bricks in labeled bags to ensure the assembly process remains organized for future builds.
